Music from United Kingdom

Quite literally one of the most original and influential guitarists on the planet, Derek Bailey has completely revolutionized the language of guitar music in the twentieth century. His work has been championed by almost every cutting edge guitarist: Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, Buckethead, Jerry Garcia, but his influence reaches far far beyond the insular world of guitar freaks, to classical composers such as Brian Ferneyhough and Karlheinz Stockhausen, creative musicians Anthony Braxt…

*150 copies limited edition* If you have been paying close enough attention to the often strange yet alluring part of the world Richard Youngs operates in, you should have noticed that since the middle of 2025 he embarked on a new sonic journey that has subsequently become a trilogy of LPs on Fourth Dimension Records. Each of these is limited to 150 and is named after either a mythical Babylonian king or entity of Richard’s own devising, while the music itself has been of an instrumental nature …

At the turn of the millennium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors! Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents. Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping…

Sara Dale's Sensual Massage was a delightful erotic video with a mystic soundtrack by Coil. Quite unusual for the band dreamy ambient, almost spa-relaxed soft harmonies, bland tribal rhythms, chimes, and birdsong but still with dark mysterious and inimitable Coil musick's charm. However, the second part of the album explores more rhythmic structures that remind 'Gay Man's Guide...' soundtrack.  Besides the OST recordings, the edition includes bonus tracks from the "Basilisk prod.'s" era: “Theme …

2026 stock Originally the debut release on Decca's Nova label, this blistering UK psych-blues powerhouse features singer Steve Bailey's raw, hoarse vocals, Ron Bending on bass, Terry Sims on drums, and guitarist Bob Weston (later of Fleetwood Mac) delivering frantic riffs and solos akin to early Spooky Tooth, Leafhound, or Free. Tracks like the epic 12-minute "Darkness," driving "Going Home," and gritty "Take These Chains" capture turn-of-the-decade intensity with pounding drums and heavy guitar…

2026 stock Originally released in 1971, The Edgar Broughton Band was the group’s third studio album and a defining statement of Britain’s underground rock scene. Sometimes referred to as “The Meat Album” due to its raw sleeve art, the record captures the band at their most uncompromising, blending heavy blues-rock with psychedelic textures, biting political commentary, and moments of fragile folk-inspired beauty.

Moving Images is a collaborative album by composers Frank Maston and Greg Foat, and marks the inaugural release on Magic Hollow, the new imprint founded by Daniel O’Sullivan. Rooted firmly in the tradition of classic library music, the album draws from the deep, elegant end of the form: vintage keyboards, analogue synthesis, drum machines, and melodic economy, realised with clarity, warmth, and restraint. Recorded in February 2025 at Ritmo Studios in Leysin, Switzerland, high in the Alps, Moving…

Thirty years on from the original, Throbbing Gristle returned to the source material of The Second Annual Report - their catastrophic debut of November 1977, pressed in a run of 785 copies on their own Industrial Records with white labels, a "Nothing Short Of A Total War" sticker, and a Xerox warning strip about the shortcomings of the pressing - and reinterpreted it live at La Grande Halle-La Villette, Paris, on 6 June 2008. That performance was captured in full and issued as this 12" 180gm LP,…

In early 2002 Derek Bailey astounded the free music community with his gorgeous album Ballads, a radical and steely interpretation of the standard repertoire. It became an instant classic, hit a dozen best-ten lists and remains his best selling cd of all time. The recordings here were made just weeks after the idea was first born at an intimate Christmas gathering in New York—and two months before the recording of Ballads. Here Derek is working out his personal approach to the standard song repe…

Alice Kemp is a British artist working with noise, performance, fetish objects, installation and many other forms of media. Throughout her work, she articulates a broken and illogical syntax of the subconscious through trance states, dreams, and disturbances. She has performed extensively, occasionally as an associate to the Schimpfluch-Gruppe of Swiss extreme aktionists. It is a rarified violence that the Kemp invokes on her 9 Dreams In Erotic Mourning. Something disfigured. Something fucked. S…
